Why Did College Student Voter Participation DOUBLE In 2018? Was It More Than Just Hatred Of Trump?
Thursday, we discussed New Mexico's plan to fully fund tuition in public colleges and universities for all its students.

Fathead
Douglas Murray illustrated his article about James O’Brien with a maliciously delicious picture. O’Brien is the only person I can think of who’s got cellulite on his forehead. The fact that someone at the BBC saw fit to hire him as a presenter boggles belief. A mixed metaphor, but it’ll do. Why did anyone at the Beeb think he was suitable for Newsnight? (Literally *un-suitable*, as in unable to wear a suit in the normal manner.) He's more at home in manky old T-shirts in keeping with his demeanour; rude, uncouth and obnoxious.

If you live in a city, your chances of being involved victim of a criminal act go up, and as cities grow in size, crime grows even faster. But not all crimes go up at the same rate. Rape grows only linearly, at roughly the same pace as a city's population, while car theft and robbery compound and outpace the population. A new mathematical model says the same underlying mechanism that boosts urban innovation and startup businesses can also explain why certain types of crimes thrive in a larger population. read more

Gerald “Zulu” Lewis peered from his Hurricane and spotted 20 German Bf-110s circling with a heavy escort of fast and deadly Bf-109 fighters over Redhill, south of London. It was shortly after 9 am on September 27, 1940. Ins... more »
The Story of the Evil Organization That Was Hitler's Waffen SS Troopers
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: https://live.staticflickr.com/7924/31940890337_df269a9ec4_b.jpg] Beyond the pale. *Key point:* The SS was terrifying and committed many crimes against humanity. In 1933 a portion of the Nazi Party’s Schutzstaffel (SS) was armed and trained along military lines and served as an armed force. These troops were originally known as the SS-Verfügungstruppen, the name indicating that they served at the Führer’s pleasure. By 1939, four regiments (Standarten) had been organized. The Verfügungstruppen took part in the occupation of Aust... more »
This Is Why the B-26 Marauder Was Such a Problem Plane

Of all the better-known Allied aircraft of World War II, the most controversial was Martin’s B-26 Marauder, a twin-engine cigar-shaped medium bomber that was loved by some and hated by many.

Seriously? Justin Trudeau wears a costume and the world goes crazy....
*when is breathing going to be declared racist?* I'm no fan boy person of Trudeau, but this whole "someone dressed up in a costume with a bunch of dark makeup on their face" being declared racist was ridiculous from the get-go. Why is this young lady not being accused of racism and cultural appropriation since I can say with almost 100% certainty she was not born with that color hair? And it probably wasn't that straight either. You know why. Only white people can be racists.

Randall’s Doubts About Aquinas
The Aristotelian philosopher John Herman Randall, Jr. was not sure if the works of Thomas Aquinas can be seen as a statement of Aristotelian philosophy. In his Foreword to his book *Aristotle*, Hermann writes: “Though not aware of the wealth and variety of medieval thought, so fascinating in itself, the present writer is not a medievalist. He seriously doubts whether Aristotle can survive translation into the Latin substantives of the scholastic tradition, or whether it is possible to state his fundamental functionalism in the Latin tongue.” (He has Thomas Aquinas in mind.)

Political Honesty
It's better to be honest than to say -- as Doug Ford has -- that you "believe in honest conversations." Martin Regg Cohn writes: A year ago, Ford told Ontarians he wanted to “follow the money” —code for criminality.

Ford pointed an accusing finger at his predecessor, Kathleen Wynne: “If you lie on your taxes … there are consequences.” Her crime?

Does Living Near Public Transit Lead To Alzheimer's? A Paper Claims Environmental Issues - Your Exposome - Cause It
Though age is the big risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, an analysis of Swedish twins has led some to believe that half of individual differences in Alzheimer's disease risk may be environmental. Chemists, toxicologists, and biologists note that we would have gone extinct long ago if our bodies had not been able to absorb, metabolize, ignore, or excrete trace substances but since 2005, when a new salvo against public trust in the modern world was opened, there has been talk that an "exposome" can cause all kinds of diseases. read more
